Why Amazon Wants Their Employees To Resign

I don't have much sympathy for people who have 6 figure salaries. They're in a different society, and often vote in a way that affects the working man like myself. Instead of using their wealth to create solutions to their local economy and our country overall, they instead deny science and push woke politics. They get to enjoy the lifestyle that 500k affords, I get to walk on eggshells wondering who I will offend next on 40k. The techworkers are not the same as us blue collars. Amazon offers the best services at the best price to me. I don't need to care about how this sausage is made.

[@Amanda-zd7ei]

[@BronZeage]

Kmart had a similar management policy. An experienced general manager would be given a larger goal every year, without regard to other factors. Sometimes a store has maxed out for its location. The manager who missed the goal was fired and replaced by a younger person who was making substantially less. It took about 10 years, but Kmarts store management was all young and inexperienced. Everyone knows what happened next.

At Amazon, the rules are different for top/middle tenured management vs the bottom fodder. L8 and over were rarely seen getting fired at AMZN, and may prevent that kind of result at Amzn. So they may have perfected that dystopia over time.

I'm more likely to promote an Amazon employee of 25 years to become a manager or supervisor or other high position than to give someone who's never worked a day in his life at Amazon to become one, experienced elsewhere or not

[@ThisNamesNowTaken]

Except those with the special name tags were around when Walmart wasn’t another shitty place to work at. They were around to take advantage of the good benefits Walmart used to offer and are only around because they still qualify to get their retirement package (at the moment i forgot what they actually call it) I used to work there and arrived after walmart went to shit. Their turnover rate is also stupid high. The older folks i met with the 10-12-15 year name tags always said the same thing, just a few more years of tolerating bullshit from management and they’ll retire full tenured (i believe thats what they called it.)

[@Idkcustomerrrr]

The difference is at one point walmart used to be a great place to work. They offered their workers great benefits. That's why you see all those 25 year employees. There was never a point in time when amazon was a great place to work. It was doomed since day 1. Nowadays walmart is terrible. They took so much from their employees.

[@KRYMauL]

I mean it's cheaper for a corporation to not keep you and it can actually be better for people. Changing jobs every 2 years and asking for a random amount extra does make for a decent career especially if you take the 25 years or service or 55 year old for retirement as the standard. 25 years switching every 2-5 years means you could probably secure enough for retirement.

[@rdean150]

@@KRYMauL Switching jobs every 2 years sucks. It is very stressful and frustrating to start over at the bottom rung of the ladder, and the bottom of the steep learning curve that is inevitable at most tech companies. Also, those salary hikes are gonna plateau before long, and will likely become a liability if you keep job hopping every few years. Some companies won't even interview a candidate with Google and Amazon on their resumes, because they know the salary expectations will be higher than they're willing to pay. And if the candidate has a history of job hopping every 2 - 3 years, companies will assume the candidate will do the same to them, likely before that person has been productive enough for long enough to earn their initial upfront investment. Basically, you're not gonna be able to keep job hopping every 2 - 3 years throughout your career without eventually having to hop into positions that pay LESS than your previous roles. On the other hand, staying much more than 5 years at the same company has typically meant you are getting screwed over, salary wise. At least, that's been the case for the past 20 years or so. But given the upside down state of the economy right now, who knows what the best move is... Right now you're basically screwed if you leave and screwed if you stay.

I’ve been a tier 1 associate for 2 years now. Promotions are very hard to get at Amazon and I’ve noticed recently, they will make your job load harder and harder to incentivize you to leave

[@frankwalder3608]

I’ve been an L1 associate since November 2019. I did manage to get into the IT department after fifteen months as an L1, with a whopping $0.25 per hour pay raise. It is difficult to get a promotion. Many people in Operations have said it would be easier to resign, and then apply for the higher ranking job from the outside. The video does mix facts incorrectly. The high turnover is mainly among L1 and L3 people. Turnover with someone as high as an L6 or L7 seems to be a lot lower. Basically, the pay isn’t too bad, but they will try to work you to death if you let them. Plus, in the support departments, such as IT, Finance, HR, Building Maintenance, Security, there is higher than average job security. The improvement plan is only when someone is in the bottom 5% of Operations, and there are a lot of retraining extensions available. If you want to stay at Amazon, you can.

[@meme1star]

As someone who works in HR for Amazon and being laid off this month by them I have to say these layoffs have been so uncoordinated, impersonal and down right a slap in the face to all 27,000 employees laid off so far. They have given no notice to me or anyone in my department. We are literally being told the day of when I was told we would be given a one month notice. I only know I'm being laid off due to IT emailing me stating I'm loosing VPN access on the 21st. I just got that email last week on my day off, also while on my day off my manager and our department manager was let go with no notice so it was a shock to come back to work under a new team leader who is now stressed out because we are down to a skeleton crew while our phones ring off the hook our entire 8 hour shift. I open medical leaves of absences for employees dealing with traumatic events. Amazon has created an app to automate HR and so these people who are literally surviving some of the worst points in their lives will now have to go open their own leaves through an app or speak to someone from India or South America who not only don't really speak our language but doesn't understand what the meaning of alot of English words are. I take call after call of employees complaining they are on the phone for 1 to 2 hours trying to get them to understand what they need help with if they aren't hung up on and when they are finally transferred to me their problem is solved within minutes. It's beyond understandable what they're doing when they made more money during covid than most companies on the planet. Jeff B can pay to have a bridge taken apart and moved so his yacht can pass but can't keep his employees employed. I am mentally drained by all of this and my life is affected drastically but I'm taking it as a sign to get away from this place and look for something with more meaning for me to do instead. I've sat today on my day off crying about it. I told myself it's not worth all of these tears but they just keep coming regardless. I'm sad that I won't be there to help people when they truly need it. That's why I'm sad not for losing my insurance or paycheck. We're being treated like crap by them and I'm tired of being quiet about it.

I.e Employee A hired in 2018 for 100k, through yearly raises now makes 120k in 2023. Company decides to adjust the pay for the role and also reduce the amount of previous industry experience required from 5-10 years to 1 year (as now the existing employees can train the new hires). Employee A doesnt get a pay correction as the adjustment only implies to new employees. Employee B is hired for that same role in 2023 for 160k.

It doesnt hurt that it's also true. The only way to make more money is to leave. Raises are 2-5%/yr (vs a ~10% inflation!) whereas youll see increases of 10-30% by switching jobs. Chart that out and you can see why employees only stick around for a year or two anywhere you go. You're best off staying at any given job until your first raise and then using that new value as your jumpoff point. I used to make $14/hr at where I work now and slogged it out for 9 years until I was making $20/hr. Then I left and got a job at $26/hr, slogged it out for 4 years until I was making $29/hr, then my old job called me back offering $36/hr. Then another company tried to pick me up for $40/hr and my current job threw $50/hr at me to keep me around. I've been doing the -exact- same thing for 15 years and the only time money came my way was when I left, or tried to leave. Speaking of, it's about that time!

Thank you for making this video! Next month, I'm about to hit my 1 year mark as a Amazon driver. Although I'm with a DSP, we are also facing massive layoffs. Basically, my company is doing their best to get rid of most of us. We went from nearly 200 drivers to just 116 from the start of this year. Every week, we loose drivers. Every week since I've started, I see new faces on the beginning of my work week.. it's insane... This comes to trying to force us to resign... or fire us for a stupid reason. I even got suspended back in January for making "too many hard corners". Yet, my FICO score and records shows the opposite.. so I've basically got falsely suspended.. or a "overreact" suspension. Basically playing mind games to make me quit... We lost too many good experienced drivers and my company keeps hiring new ones which is pathetic. I've also heard about the rumors of Amazon not liking the "experienced workers" and "workers too comfortable" as well which is not a shocker that I was targeted. We haven't heard anything about raises, etc. SO yea.. it's not just Amazon factory workers and tech workers.. it's us drivers facing the same situation as well...

Something that wasn’t covered in the deceitful compensation was 401k. The 401k employee match is also on a vested schedule and it’s even worse than stock compensation. Of course on the surface the employer match is pretty great but if you don’t stay 3 years you get ZERO % of the matched funds. It’s crazy and super shady because people don’t talk about it. I didn’t even know this was the case until after I left and tried to rollover my 401k. Good video. Extremely accurate.

She was very depressing to communicate with constant reminders, I would be fired for a lack of surveys completed by customers, not nessasarily my performance.

I started smoking again and getting fat like her. She even tried to block me from my paid time off. Then they realized she had a problem with me and changed my TWO supervisors. It was too late. I was burnt out on the previous creature. Training is very poor at Amazon. Customers were constantly frustrated with language/accent barriers with foreign customer service reps.

I work at Amazon. On the compensation schedule, there's actually a large sign-on bonus that is meant to offset the small percentage of stocks vesting in Y1 and Y2. In fact, unless you're granted new RSUs, your total comp is designed to decrease over the 4 years as there is a built-in assumption that the stock price will appreciate by 15% per year. At the same time, there is an annual adjustment/review process where new RSUs can be granted, although it's quite common to have your annual comp decrease year-on-year.
